Todd Davis, LB
I don’t know how deep the Broncos are at linebacker because they have an influx of new players there, but I do know that you never want to lose your leader on the second level.
Alexander Johnson started for most of last year and did a good job, but that was his first year as a starter and he never had to make calls at the line. If Davis is out for any length of time, that is going to put a lot of strain on the defense as a whole, but most of all on Johnson.
A few #broncos injuries:
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) August 20, 2020
- 2nd round pick WR KJ Hamler will be out a couple weeks with a hamstring injury.
- LB Todd Davis left practice on a cart with a left leg injury
- Von Miller has an elbow issue
- RB Melvin Gordon has a rib injury
What is even worse for the Broncos is that they will be facing the Tennessee Titans, who have spent the entire offseason trying to build a bully on offense.
Whether that means a top-100 pick on a running back or a 1st round pick on a massive tackle, the goal for the Titans remains the same: run the ball.
Derrick Henry has been slightly disrespected all offseason in the rankings and he has heard about how the Titans never start strong. I think he and the rest of that offense are ready to go out and prove that 2019 wasn’t a fluke.
